Paste
#####

Paste servers are an easy way to share long-form content such as
configuration files or log data with others over short-form
communication protocols such as IRC.  OpenStack runs the "lodgeit"
paste software.

Overview
========

For OpenStack we use `a fork
<https://opendev.org/opendev/lodgeit>`_ of lodgeit which is
based on one with bugfixes maintained by `dcolish
<https://bitbucket.org/dcolish/lodgeit-main>`_ but adds back missing
anti-spam features required by OpenStack.

Ansible configures lodgeit to use mariadb database backend, apache
as a front-end proxy.
